Mr. R. Y. H. Nance has returned to An? derson and opened a shoe shop in the room in the rear of Mr. J. ?. Breazeale's office, over the store of J. P. Sullivan & Co. See his advertisement. The census enumerators for this County held a meeting in town on Saturday, and from a general interchange of views as to the duties required of them derived consid? erable information and benefit. Mr. Dave Humphreys has been threshing the small crops of wheat about town the past week. We learn the yield is not near as good as lost year, though quite as good as was generally expected. i Edgefield has thirty-one candidates in tbe field, eight of whom would like to be Sheriff. We are afraid by the time of the.election there won't be enough, disinterested people in the county to count the votes. Mr. S. D. Deal died at his home in Wil liamston, after a brief illness, on last Thurs? day night, and was buried the following afternoon. He was a good citizen, and was highly esteemed by his neighbors. The corps of engineers engaged in survey? ing the Savannah Volley Railroad had got? ten six miles below Lowndesville up to Saturday night. The corps is making un- j usually rapid progress in its work. The cooks and washerwomen are quitting their work about town and going to the country to hoe cotton, as that business is the most profitable; and there is about to be a panic among the housekeepers. The Town Clerk has collected over six hundred dollars of the Savannah Valley j Railroad tax up to this time. There re mains but twelve days more in which to pay in the town without the penalty. Mr. J. A. Wiles, of the Corner, one of the most enterprising and successful young farmers in the County, sent us two very fine stalks of cotton on Saturday, on both of which there were well-formed squares, j Maj. John R. Williams and wife, of Cen? tral, spent several days in Anderson during the past week. They have many friends in our midst who will be pleased to know that they are well pleased with their new home. In reply to a letter from one of the census enumerators for this County, the Supervisor says that lands must be enumerated by the enumerators for the district in which they lie, regardless of where their owners reside, j There are about forty-five paupers at present in the County Poor House, all of whom are satisfied with the manner in which they are cared for. Mr. Stevenson, the efficient Steward, is much liked by all. The County Treasurer has been very busy the past three or four days balancing up his hooks after the collection of the first instal? ment of State and County taxes, but is not yet prepared to give us the amor.nt collec? ted. We will publish next week a long and excellent essay on fruit culture from the pen of Col. W. S. Pickens, and we hope it will receive a careful perusal by all of our readers. It was received too late for this issue. Married, on Wednesday, the 26th instant, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. J. S. Murray, Mr. Francis W. Hahn, of Greenville, S. C, and Miss Florence G., eldest daughter of Mr. Jesse L. Fant, of Anderson. Those of our citizens who labored under the impression that there would be no pen? alty on the unpaid Savannah Valley Rail? road lax will be snrprised, if they don't mind, when they go to make a final settle? ment with the County Treasurer in the fall. ? We are in receipt of an invitation to at? tend the final celebration of tho Calhoun and Preston Literary Societies, Wofford College, on June 14th and 15th. An inter? esting programme has been arranged, and will be carried out, consisting of debates, addresses, &c. We are requested by some of our towns? men whose growing crops have sufTered serious damage from being trespassed upon by cattle allowed to run at large, to warn the owners of such stock against a repeti? tion of these depredations. We have no doubt that the stock committing the depre? dations were at large purely by accident, and not from any disregard of their owners for their neighbors' crops. We are inclined to think that all of our citizens are disposed to observe the requirements of the stock law, and hope that when stock of any kind escape from enclosures and trespass that for? bearance will be exercised. The Palmetto Itifles will hold a meeting in the office of Cnpt. John E. Allen this (Thursday) evening at 6 o'clock for the purpose of reorganizing and electing officers for the Company for the ensuing year. A full attendance of the members is desired, as well as the presence of any others who may wish to join the Company. ! "The fence law, where it is adopted, will, by keeping the stock out of the woods, give the blackberries and other wild fruits a fine chance to grow."?Columbia Register. And by keeping the hogs out of the old fields, will give the rabbits, partridges, etc., a fine chance to multiply. It will add as much to your pleasures as to your profits. Try it. The Phoenix Iron Works at Columbia, S. C, are well known as being among the best and most reliable manufactories of the kind in the South, and being a home enter? prise is eminently deserving the patronage of our people. See advertisement in an? other column, and then call on Messrs. Watson & Son for prices and other particu? lars. Our young friend Gaillard Brown has been placed in charge of the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company at Greenville. His principal duty will be to receive the press dispatches, and will no doubt evince as high degree of proficiency in this office as he has in ell others he has filled. The people of Greenville will find him exceedingly polite and accommodating under all circumstances. Here is what the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitu? tion says on the subject of round dances: "A young man watched the waltzes at a certain dancing school for some time last night, and then asked somebody to tell him why it was that the young ladies who sub? mitted to hugging in public would not per mit it in private, whereupon a bright fellow remarked that that had not been his expe? rience." Food for thought! The announcement made lost week that there would be an excursion from Green? ville to Cincinnati on the occasion of the meeting of the National Democratic Con? vention for $16 was, we have been in? formed, a mistake. The excursion is from Atlanta, Ga., and not from Greenville. The announcement was made on informa? tion received from a private letter from a gentleman of tbe last named city, and which we had every reason to believe was entirely trustworthy. We propose by our next issue to have all the particulars of the matter that can possibly be obtained, which will be given the public through our col? umns. Mr. J. S. Murray, Jr., who has been en? gaged since September last as principal of a flourishing school at West Springs, Union County, is now at home, where he will remain for some time. He graduated in Furman University two years ago with the degree of A. M., the highest degree the University could confer, and has since been applying himself assiduously to the study of the languages, and by dint of energy and perseverance, strengthened by a laudable ambition, has familiarized himself with nine distinct languages besides that of his mother tongue. It is not often that we find a young man in this day and generation who places as high an estimate on educa? tion as does Mr. Murray, and who is will? ing to make every other object subserve this end. The article in our last issue on the sub? ject of "Means' Grass," from the pen of an esteemed correspondent, seems to have at? tracted jonsiderable attention, and we are right ghd that it has. From specimens of the grass left in our office, we are inclined to thin* it would be found very valuable by our farmers as a forage, suitable especial? ly for feeding to stock in a green state. It will grow and flourish on ordinary land, and can be cut down three or four times in one season, and, as for cultivation, it re? quires nothing but the sowing. Our cor? respondent justly cautions his brother far? mers about devoting any considerable amount of land to its cultivation, as it is likely to monopolize in future the ground on which it is sown. But with proper cau? tion we see no reason why every farmer might not devote at least from a half an acre to an acre of ground to its cultivation without allowing it to spread to other por? tions of the farm. A Matter of Interc.it to Farmors and Me? chanics. At the last regular session of the Legisla? ture an Act was passed creating an Agri? cultural Department, and Col. A. P. Butler was elected Commissioner of the Depart? ment. This action on the part of our law? makers was an important recognition of the rights of the agricultural classes, and as it was more for tho development of the agri? cultural and mechanical resources of the State than for any other interests that the Department was created, it is sincerely hoped that all farmers and mechanics par? ticularly will co-operate with the Commis? sioner in his efforts to make the Depart? ment a credit to the State and farmers and mechanics alike. From a circular recently issued by the Commissioner, we make the following ex? tracts : We will soon have, at the rooms of the Commissioner in Columbia, cases or apart? ments for each County, and it is our desire to exhibit the products of every County; and we request that every citizen will feel that this circular is directed especiully to him and aid the Department by ail means in his power. The Commissioner will neg? lect nothing that will advance the agricul? tural and mechanical industries of the State, and he confidently relies upon the people to sustain him. We desire to have samples of the products of every County. They will be carefully arranged in tbe proper cases and plainly marked with the name of County and con? tributor. We want specimens of wheat, corn, oats, peas, rye, barley, rice, buck? wheat, flax, peanuts, tobacco, cotton, mil? let, clover and grasses, dried fruit, cbufas, molasses, wines, woods, minerals, stone, marble, any article used for agricultural or mechanical purposes manufactured in the State, native birds, insects, and, in short, anything and everything that will show the wealth of tbe County, aid and encourage home manufactures and prove interesting to visitors. The importance of having such an ex? hibit at the capitol is apparent. It will be our best advertisement in showing our won? derful resources, and more can be learned in this way, by strangers seeking informa? tion, in a day than in a year's travel. It will be a fine medium of exchange, pur? chase or sale of seeds to our own people, and in learning more of our capabilities. I earnestly appeal to yon to aid me in this treat work by sending any article for exhi ition that you think would be at all inter? esting. They should be plainly marked and addressed to A. P. Butler, Commis? sioner of Agriculture, Columbia, S. C. The Department will pay nil expenses of shipping. A New Effort of tho Y. M. C. A. At the late meeting of the State Con veil ! tion of tbe Young Men's Christian Associa tion, the State wns divided into six districts, j and a resident chairman appointed for each district, whose duty it is to interest Chris? tian people in the work of the Associations. Mr. H. 0. Scuddoy, of this place, is the chairman of the fifth district, which is composed of Anderson, Oconee and Pick ens Counties, A better appointment could not have been made, as Mr. Scudday is an earnest and most zealous worker, and is thoroughly posted as to the needs and re? quirements necessary to make the work of tbe Associations more efiicient and effective. One of tbe duties of tbe chairmen will be to hold a district meeting once a year in each of their districts. The Excursion to Piedmont. As will be seen from the curd published iu this issue, every necessary arrangement fur the picnic excursion to Piedmont has been made by the committee appointed by the Temperance Division for that purpose, i get your baskets, etc., ready for the occasion, and now nothing remains to be done but to Next Thursday is the day appointed for the excursion, and the low rate of fare fixed by the railroad authorities will doubtless in? sure a lurge crowd. Good order will be preserved, and ladies and children will be made as comfortable as possible. The dis? tance to Piedmont is about 25 miles, and excursionists will have five or six hours in which to see the sights of the town. Col. Hammett assures the committee that a cor? dial reception awaits the Division and its friends. List of Jurors. * The Court of General Sessions and Com? mon Pleas for this County will convene on next Monday week, the second Monday in June. The following is a list of the jurors drawn to serve the term, viz.: John Q. Ozmint, Abram Bolt, Thomas F. Stewart, Welborn J. Freeman, C. E. 0. Mitchell, Elijah W. Stewart, Thomas S.

The postoffice department at Washington has recently located, in accordance with petitions from citizens of this County, two very important mail routes leading from this place. One of them is to Easley, on which two trips a week will be made, by I the following places, at each of which there 1 will be a postoffice: Neal's, Piercetown, Watkin's Mill, Equality, Hamilton's, Hoi lams', to Easley, and return by Boggs', Major's Shop, Bryan's Mill, Larkin New? ton's, Five Forks, Eskew's, Centreville Mills, Burriss' to Anderson. This route was located several years ago, but for some reason or other was never established. The other route is to Honea Path, on which one trip a week will be made, by the following places, at which offices will be established : Prevost's Mill, Neal's Creek, Cray ton ville, to Honea Path; return by Shirley's Store, intersecting the main line at Prevost's Mill. The entire distance of the first named route is 64 miles, and that of the second 34 miles. It is very desirable that these routes be es? tablished at an early day, as postoffices are very much needed for the accommodation and convenience of citizens living In the communities through which they are loca? ted._ Shad by the Millions. The people of this section will be delighted to know that efforts are being made to stock the Savannah River with shad, and that a nshway has been placed in the dam across the River at Augusta, Ga., so as to allow the free passage of any number of shad to the upper waters of the stream. Dr. H. H. Carey, Fish Commissioner of the State of Georgia, has appropriated $50 of the money in his hands for tho purpose of supplying the rivers of Georgia with shad to the object of placing shad spawn in the River above the Locks at Augusta, to which sum the city of Augusta has added $50 dollars more, and Col. A. P. Butler, Fish Commissioner of this State, has been written to and re? quested to make a similar appropriation for the same purpose, to which it is sincerely hoped he will make a favorable response. The combined amount will be sufficient to enable the agent appointed by Dr. Carey to place 1,000,000 shad spawn in the River above the dam at Augusta, and this will be done immediately. It is a well known fact that shad return annually to the waters where they were hatched. In a few years, therefore, the upper waters of the Savan? nah will be stocked, at the proper season, with many millions of fine shad, sufficient to supply the entire country adjacent to the stream. Answer Fully and Promptly. The census enumerators started out on Tuesday, and are now plying their numer? ous questions with vigilance, to which the people should give full and prompt answers. They must visit each family in every house and take down the name of every man, wo? man and child who made his or her usual place of abode there on the first day of June, 1880- They will have to set down the number of persons in the family, their names, the age, sex, color, occupation and place of birth of each person named. The | relationship of all members of the family must be stated, and whether married, wid? owed or single, and whether naturalized or alien. Also their physical condition, wheth? er sick or disabled, and nature of sickness or disability, and whether deaf, dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic. Schedule No. 2 contains a full list of inquiries relating to farms, crops, stocks and implements. Other schedules relate to business and industry, railroads and other corporations, the object being to get complete returns in regard to every part of our material resources. This is a work of great importance to the people of the United States, and they will be doing well to answer the questions promptly aud readily, so as to facilitate the work of the enumerators as much as possi- j ble. I Complimentary Resolution?. ' At a meeting of the Executive Board of the Saluda Association, held on the 28th ult., the following preamble and resolu? tions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the Executive Board of the Baptist State Convention, lately elected Rev. W. H. Strickland Corresponding Sec? retary and Treasurer of said Board, and he has accepted the same; and whereas, Bro. Strickland has for the last three years been an active, zealous and efficient member of this Board, and commended himself to the love and affection of the churches of tin's Association on account of Iiis devotion to the cause of Christ and activity aud success in the benevolent and Christian enterprises of the denomination ; therefore, Resolved, That while we regret that Bro. Strickland is called from his present field of labor in which he has been so successful and so much beloved for his work's sake, yet we regard this selection by the Executive Board of the State to the field to which it has called him as eminently judicious and wise, and that our prayers and best wishes will follow him in his new field of Christian labor. 2. That Bro. Strickland be invited to be? gin his work and spend the month of July among the churches of this Association, and that he use his discretion in taking up collections, and that all collections taken be credited to the churches at which taken. 3. That we cordially commend Brother Strickland to the churches of this State and to all friends of the Mission work. Anderson Market Keportn.

Easley has always enjoyed the reputation of being one of tbe most quiet and law abiding communities in South Carolina, and was the last place from which we ever expected to hear of any attempts to enforce lynch-law. The case we now have to re? cord, however, does not, in our opinion, re? flect discreditably upon the white citizens of that place, for they hud nothing whatever to do with it, and are in no wise responsible for tbe affair. Tbe circumstances of the case are about as follows: A colored man by tbe name of Jim Williams, who has been living at Easley for some time, and who has been fed and supported by several colored women in the employ of white persons, was taken out of his house on Monday night of last week by a party of men of his own color, carried about a mile from town and severely flogged because of his worthless and turbulent disposition, and then admonished to leave the community, which lie subsequently did. Considering the character of Williams, as well as tbe motives which induced the justly incensed colored men of that community in their actions, we do not know but what tbe lynching was justifiable, after all. There are many just such worthless villuins of both races all over our country who are do? ing more to demoralize society than any thing else that could be mentioned, and when the State fails to protect her citizens from the impositions of such fellows by the enforcement of the law, we regard it per? fectly legitimate for the citizens to protect themselves. The Anderson Grange. The dinner party given on last Saturday by Hon. B. P. Crayton to the Anderson Grange and some invited guests, was a most pleasant and enjoyable occasion. About forty persons from different sections of the County were present, and spent a conside? rable portion of the day in the examination of the crops, farming arrangements and stock belonging to their host, and all pres? ent were not only interested but profited by their observations. All of the crops upon tho place are well advanced, showing thor? ough preparation and skillful cultivation. The oat and corn crops, taken as a whole, were decidedly ahead of anything we have seen in the County, and the cotton crop is among the best. After spc: i< ing some time in this very entertaining review, the party returned to the house, where a bountiful and tempting repast awaited, and was most heartily partaken of by them. Mr. G. P. Tolly presided over the meal, and at its conclusion insisted that the feast should be followed by an address from the host, on the ground that one good turn deserves another. The demand was generally sec? onded, and Col. Crayton responded in a brief and appropriate manner, confining himself to agricultural matters, showing the progress made in Anderson County, and tbe interest he had taken in that progress. He referred to tbe Grange and its work, commending its social features most highly, and closing with the hope that all present had spent a pleasant day, and that others would be called on for short addresses. In accordance with the last suggestion several others were called for and briefly responded, after which the party adjourned to the splendid spring near the residence, where the remainder of the evening was passed in conversation until the party dispersed for their respective homes.
